Red bricks have remained a favoured choice in UK construction for centuries due to their durability and energy efficiency. When properly cared for and maintained, these bricks can withstand the harshest conditions for a lifespan of up to 650 years.
However, brick walls and structures are not immune to the effects of weather, pollution, and general wear and tear. As time passes, such factors can degrade their appearance and lead to deterioration, making it necessary to repoint or replace some bricks.
Here at ICE Cleaning, we understand the value of preserving the quality and aesthetics of bricks. We take pride in offering eco-friendly brick cleaning services for all brick surfaces. Using the TORIK Brick Cleaning System, an exceptionally effective and efficient method, we ensure the restoration of any brick surface. With our specialised approach, your brick surfaces will maintain their visual appeal and structural integrity.

What types of bricks are used in construction?
We use various brick classes for specific structures, each designed with distinct intentions. The type of bricks chosen for a brick house will differ from those used in an underground tunnel, as the latter requires specialised protection.
Bricks are manufactured under different conditions, tailored to meet specific aesthetics and quality standards. In the UK, there are four classes of bricks that we commonly use:
Engineering bricks
These withstand extreme conditions, such as low temperatures, excess moisture, and intense compression strength. They have high resistance to chemicals, making them ideal for projects involving underground works, foundations, and water-related structures.
Common bricks
Often mismatched in colour, these bricks serve projects where aesthetic appeal is not a priority. They are commonly employed in shared walls or as a second layer, paired with facing bricks.
Concrete blocks
Though not traditional bricks, concrete blocks are a cost-effective alternative with strong barriers, heat and water resistance, and good thermal conductivity. They have extensive use in construction and support projects.
Facing bricks
These are the bricks we typically encounter, used on the exterior of buildings for their aesthetic appeal. Created from clay fired at high temperatures, they possess weather resistance, heat resistance, and energy efficiency properties, ensuring both visual allure and practicality.
By selecting the appropriate brick classes for different applications, we ensure that each structure has the right combination of strength, protection, and aesthetic appeal to meet its intended purpose effectively.
Essential brick maintenance tips
Conduct regular inspection
You should inspect your brick surface regularly and identify any signs of damage, like cracks, plant growth, water damage, moss, or mildew growth. If you notice any signs of deterioration, it is advisable to seek the assistance of a professional brick cleaner who can thoroughly assess the property.
Use gentle cleaning methods
When performing routine maintenance, use a gentle cleaning approach. Use warm water and mild soap with a hard bristle brush to clean the brick surface. Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals or wire brushes, as they can potentially cause damage to both the bricks and the surface.
Avoid brick acid cleaners
Do not use brick acid cleaners unless you are a qualified brick cleaner with the proper knowledge of their application. Brick acid cleaners contain highly corrosive solutions that can dissolve mortar and cement, posing a significant risk of serious burns if they touch unprotected skin.
